This pricing information relates to advice we provide on immigration (excluding asylum), employment tribunals (claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal) and motoring offences. The fees and costs that is stated in our pricing information are based on our experience of the likely cost of dealing with similar matters or are based on our best estimate of the likely amount of professional time incurred.

Will and Probate Fees
From:
- Will – £200

- Estate administration services – £1250
Our Probate solicitor’s fees are usually calculated as between 2% to 5% of the value of the estate, plus VAT. If the estate is worth over £325,000 and Inheritance Tax is payable then the solicitor would ask for more information in order to determine the value and complexity of the estate. They would then quote a fixed fee based on the information given.
However, the probate quote from fixed fee probate solicitors is always subject to change if the information is given wrongly or new complexities arise.
